Time to Relax...
Stress? Tension? At the Vitalissimo Spa we offer a tranquil, relaxing ambience ... let us whisk you away to our hidden haven where you leave your worries in your locker...
Finnish Sauna
The Finnish Sauna is a tradition that some researchers date back over two thousand years. The Finns attribute their endurance and longevity to the tradition of sauna.
Basically, what happens to the body during a sauna is quite simple — your metabolism and pulse rates increase, your blood vessels become much more flexible, and your extremities benefit from increased circulation.
The effects of the sauna are numerous and varied. Many people claim that the sauna relieves the symptoms of minor illnesses such as colds, revives the muscles after tough physical exertion, and clears the complexion. The sauna experience will often leave you feeling very much alive. Your senses will be sharpened, and your tactile sensitivity heightened.
Many say that after leaving the sauna, the mind is in a relaxed, lucid state, free of the worries of the everyday world. Also, when the body feels soothed and energized, the mind and emotions often follow suit.
Some basic tips before entering the sauna:
Don't drink alcohol, as it counteracts the benefits of the sauna. Older people need to avoid or limit their time in the sauna. People with heart ailments or respiratory diseases need to avoid the sauna, and anyone with chronic ailments needs to check first with his or her doctor. Don't eat prior to the sauna. If you experience dizziness, problems with breathing, or a general feeling of ill health, leave the sauna immediately.
If you do decide to use the sauna, start gradually. Stay in only as long as you are comfortable, increasing the time with each visit. The Finns respect the sauna to such a degree that their ministers of government often conduct business in and around the sauna. So what are you waiting for?
Steam Bath
As soon as you step inside a steam bath, relaxation becomes the theme. Within moments, the warmth penetrates your body from head to toe, easing tired muscles, and helping the cares and worries of the day drift away. Just as importantly, the warmth opens the pores of your skin, creating a flow of perspiration which lifts out the impurities of everyday living. Your skin will be deep cleansed like never before, leaving it soft, supple, and healthy. Studies demonstrate the benefits of steam bathing, which is extended and controlled exposure to warm, moist air. Such benefits include tension relief through muscle relaxation, restoration of well-being, and the elimination of impurities through opened pores.
Indoor Heated Pool and Plunge Pool
It is a well-known fact that swimming is one of the most therapeutic and complete forms of exercise, ideal for everyone, no matter their age or fitness level.
